Roche Rock, Cornwall
On this miserable dank, grey and sullen November day it is time to dip into the archives to remind ourselves of sunnier times.
Back in September I made one of my last visits to my holiday home in Cornwall, and sought out Roche Rock, which juts up out of the surrounding landscape a few miles to the north of St Austell.
The rock is said to consist of two minerals - grey quartz and tourmaline. Built into the rock is the Chapel of St Michael, dating from 1409. It has been a ruin for at least the past 250 years. The rock is also used for training purposes by local climbers, who can be seen on the left of the picture.
